Well, it’s always nice to have good games on XBLA that I can play at home.

That aside, it’s cool to see SEGA paying notice to their game that got very high praise in the past, and to those who play it for the first time now. Maybe the team working on Generations that brought back the Stardust Speedway Metal Sonic battle had a hand in reminding SEGA of this little gem’s existence? 😛

Good for you.
I’m ok with live
But it would be nice if they just put it on disc
Cause I don’t care to freaking hell and back to get an adapter or ethernet cord.
I sold the adapter.
Sega why not just make a collection of all the freaking games you made for sonic on all freaking game systems you made him for up to the dreamcast

Major Nelson won’t be talking about PSN stuff, but I can only speculate that it’s very likely PSN will see it released on there too.
I may be wrong, however. Note that Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles are still not out on PSN, nor is much of the Sega Vintage Collection XBLA enjoys. Just wait for Sega.

Well, it’s about damn time! I freaking LOVE Sonic CD. It’s basically one of the best video games ever. EVER. I just hope teh kiddiez show interest in a masterful game for once.
Soundtrack’s also worrying me. I hope they include BOTH soundtracks, or better yet, let us customize the stage tracks individually! That’d be damn sweet!

Well, I guess that’s true too…but I mean, when you’ve grown up hearing BOTH soundtracks…
And just sayin’ for the heck of it, but even though I grew up with the American soundtrack, I highly prefer the EU/JP one…with the exception of Tidal Tempest. NA’s Tidal Tempest is super groovy.

I might be wrong but I think they’re use of this “Sonic CD on XBLA” might mean we’re gonna see a Stardust Speedway trailer for Generations.

We already have a Metal Sonic boss from it, and you can’t say that boss is for Chemical Plant Zone since at the end of the Gamescom trailer, it clearly shows the Sonic 2 final boss which implies that THAT will be the boss for CPZ. The hacked boss list DOES have “Death Egg” which could mean the Sonic 2 final boss.

Oh, you mean that one game SEGA constantly fails to remember they made? With absolutely no ports except an obscure PC one? I’m sure that’ll come out alongside Duke Nuk…oh wait, I can’t make that joke anymore.

Haha! Not to mention they pretended like the whole backstory never existed in the first place which is weird because they could’ve use that to give Knuckles his own spin off games with Chaotix as his supporting casts (w/o that stupid elastic ring thingy in the gameplay and being forced to play with a partner) instead of finding a reason to put them into Sonic games. I’m not a huge fan of the new Chaotix Detective Agency that doesn’t seem to remember Sonic and Knuckles. But yeah you’re right right dude I shouldn’t my get hopes up too high.

Yeah you retro guys are freaking awesome when it comes to dev tools and hacks.
Why doesn’t Sega use you to make games is beyond me.
I love ya’lls hacks collection.
They made my summer more enjoyable on the psp

I don’t think it’s bad but I believe people give it too much credit. It is one of the better Sonic games but to go as far and say it’s the the best and better than Sonic 2 and Sonic 3&K is very untrue. The boss fights are easy and boring (the boss fights in Knuckles Chaotix were even better) the rolling physics is weird at times, and the spindash is
freaking annoying. I do like the story, music, past /future feature and the special stages.
